Social media has been around for over a decade, but it’s the last five years that has been revolutionary for businesses and ministries. In that time, we have seen Facebook gain a population greater than the United States, a whole marketing strategy come up that churches are only now jumping on board to use, and a huge potential for recruitment, new media, and training or preaching online for churches. Here is some of the big news from the past five years.
Hootsuite has some great ideas in their infographic below. These are our favorites:
- The greatest part about social media is that everyone is there. In fact, 1/4 of the world’s population is on social media.
- The most popular social network is still Facebook, but Linkedin has shot up to third place and Instagram is currently in fifth. You on those networks?
- Twitter and LinkedIn now have half the value of Facebook at $24 billion, $26.6 billion, and $100 billion respectfully.
